Get Off My Plane

For those of you using this blog as your single, go-to destination for world news and current events, let me say this – you’re right to do so. Because even though none of my rantings and seemingly insane prophecies have worked their way into the headlines…yet… you’ll be waaaaay ahead of the game when they do. And until that glorious day, it’s probably best if you just continue letting me be your filter – usually my commercials are pretty much the only thing you’d want to read about international news-wise anyway.

Today, however, we find a rare exception to that rule. Why? Because it’s Election Day here in the United States! Think of it as the Olympics of democracy – it only happens once every four years and the winner gets a gold medallion of some sort. Or maybe a ribbon. A lapel pin? Not really sure what kind of shwag is in the Presidential gift bag, to be honest.

Point is – and I assure you I have one – unless you’re reading this post while standing in a polling line, please…for the love of God…go out and vote. I can’t cast a ballot myself (Canadian or a convicted felon? You decide) but I would do just about anything to give a high five to democracy right now. In vote form, that is. And while I won’t presume to tell you who to vote for…c’mon. If we can’t have change, we may as well have Robot Nixon int he White House. Even if only for his motto – “May Death Come Swiftly To His Enemies.” Has a ring to it, you have to admit.
